- So with the feedback for the channel, many wanted to see another L8T Silverado, which I love the L8T, the second runner up was another Ford Super Duty with the 7.3 Godzilla with the 4.30 gears. So I found one, a 2024 Tremor Super Duty. The deal was right enough, trade was good enough, but I had to take it for a drive and wammo, Ford drops the ball again. Watch as I show you a walk around, a drive and what I found.
Needless to say, the dealer didn't even see it and most people may have not, but I'm so anal about spending 75k that it bette be 100% right.
So sad and disappointed.

I own a 2023 F250 XL w/STX package. 6.8L V8 engine and 3.73 rear axle. 3822 lbs of payload and 14,100 lbs towing. I’ve towed my 32’ 8,000 lbs travel trailer with no issues. Going up the Tejon Pass it was happy at 3500 rpm. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of higher trim levels but the STX package is very well equipped for a $58k super duty.
Does your transmission make a whining noise at idle and when taking off?
@@wesleydean4228straight cut gears will do that when taking off. Sounds like a supercharger whine almost.
@@wakeupamerica2024 my brand new 6.8 makes the noise at idle and it’s pretty dang loud.
Yes it does have a transmission whine noise. I also had a 2021 F150 with a 5.0 engine and it made the same transmission whine noise. Maybe it’s just something with the ford transmissions.
I know the F150 uses the 10R80 transmission and the new 6.8 super duty uses the 10R100. The powerstroke and Godzilla engines use the 10R140
I have a 2024 F550 Lariat chassis cab. Ordered it back in July and got it first week of January. No issues of any kind. It is diesel, with the 4.30 rear end. I put a 11' flat bed on it and a new Kingstar Cruzr camper is about to be ordered for it. It will also get a new suspension that between the lift and the tires will give it a 7-1/2" lift. We're doing away with the dually tires as we need to go off-road and air down tires. Right now, with 2,000 miles on it, and with the all aluminum EBY flatbed, the truck is getting about 15-16 mpg. That is a combined city and highway, mostly highway. We will live full-time in the truck in North America.
Love my 2024 XLT 7.3. that I ordered. I got 6k on it now with about 3k towing. I belive the projector turns into a curve. Owned 6 other supersutys and this one is a keeper. Better then my 19 f350 which some features weren't for me. I've never had bad fit and finish or parts that broke for thousands of miles.
My 2020 F-350 Powerstroke was a hunk of junk right from the factory. Moldings falling off, multiple steering issues, a loose part inside the door panel the rattled around while I drove. The last Ford I'll ever buy.
I have a 24 Silverado HD gaser I picked up in early November. Only quality issue I seen was a bunch of scratches around the antenna, like they were drunk trying to put the antenna on. Didn't notice it until a month later and I had put a bullet antenna on it so I didn't bother with complaining as they would blame it on me I'm sure! Other than that then golden so far!🤞🙏
Prime example of consequences from paying people what they “demand” rather than what they are worth. No different than when fast food workers demanded $15 hr wage but can’t get your order right. Now they complain about the cost of the burger.
Facts
You can thank the UAW for that!!! Union wages are artificially inflated and are not true market pay rates! There are other foreign manufacturers in the US that pay line workers market wages and those wages are lower than UAW wages at the Big 3 manufacturers!!!
Don't eat fast food!
Must be like those dogs with one blue eye, and one brown😂😂
To me I would just use those issues for negotiating power. The B pillar is probably a 30 second fix to pop it into place. I’ve seen the headlight mismatch in owners groups before, maybe if Ford simplified things and didn’t make so many different lighting combos they could keep them straight. That being said I have a ‘23 F250 Tremor with the 7.3 and 13k miles so far. Not a single issue or even glitch. 13mpg is my daily average, can get 14-15 on the highway if you keep the speeds around 70. 8-9 mpg towing in the 10k lb range. For what it is I think thats pretty good, and the 4.30 gears pull like crazy. Also remember with a Tremor whether you get a 250 or 350 you get the same exact truck mechanically, zero difference in axles or leaf packs etc…just a badge and door jamb sticker difference. I treat mine like a heavy duty 250…
Love these videos. Really hate that this happened to you, but awesome that you share these things with the rest of us. I'm looking at GM and Ford HD trucks, for my first new truck purchase since 2008. Please keep 'em coming!
I appreciate that, I hope you subbed and hit the notify bell, have some big news coming tomorrow on the channel.
My 2018 Toyota tundra Limited has 71,500 miles on it and it is quiet as a mouse on the inside. The interior has no rattles whatsoever.
The B-pillar trim above your left shoulder not installed correctly is a nice touch as well.
I essentially have the same truck with chrome bumpers. Noticed jacked up rubber on the inside of the passenger b pillar but I was able to just push it into position. That is the only problem I’ve found in 2600 miles.
I was getting around 11mpg and then realized there is eco mode. I immediately noticed an improvement in mileage compared to the normal mode. I live in the hill country so flat land mileage has to be better but with eco mode, I’m about 1-2mpg better based on the lie-o-meter. My previous Ram 1500 was averaging 15-16 but obviously much less capable. If I can get 13 out of this one with what it can tow, I’ll be happy.
Otherwise, I love this truck. I’ve pulled my dump trailer twice now fully loaded to 14k lbs gross and it pulled it like a champ. I think it was showing around 8mpg after 70 miles up and down hills. Hopefully this will continue improving with break-in.
Man! This has me considering cancelling my order on my 24 Lariat. I drove 2 Superduty trucks today, and honestly found little issues with both... Nothing as bad as what you have here though. Minor interior fit and finish issues on both. Mostly Crinkled headliners, and dash trim. AS I drove, I think well that's not as huge deal, but later yeah it kind of is at 70k, and like you said; what else did they mess up?? I voted for the Ford to be honest, but I think for your sake i change my vote
Now, i vote for another Chevy L8T with new interior.... I think i am going to start looking for one myself now....
An that over priced POS doesn’t even have a transmission dip stick, tell them to stick it
Dont buy it dude.. worst quality I ever seen
Owned my last Ford truck in '95. Went with Chevy till '08. Been in a Toyota ever since. I'll never spend my hard-earned money on any of these modern-day Ford trucks . The only truck i'd consider besides a Toyota would be a 2500hd with the 6.6 gas. More truck than I need, but the only gm gas v8 without the problematic afm/dfm systems.
I know I guy with one, down side is the gas mileage... he has to baby his to get 15 with his 2023...
I have a 2023 6.6 - it’s superb - 18 mpg hwy
What the uaw is proud to support
So glad you considered this one. Been looking at it for a while. I know that most would probably take the 3:73 rear end, but living out here in the mountains I was wondering if the 4:30 would make more sense while towing. Keeping my fingers crossed that this proves a worthy competitor to the Chevy.
I have a '21 7.3 F250 with 3.55 axel. So far no isdies with 39000 miles n pull 8000lbs trailer with no issues around 4 corners n durango colorado area. Real happy with it.
~L
That is great, glad to hear no problems....I hope it keeps on going excellent.
If you get it. Make them give you the projector style that was on the drivers side.
Not defending ford just saying my experience. Working at several dealerships between 3 brands, it is not that uncommon for us to have to swap out parts for warranty from our inventory vehicles for a quick turnaround for the customer because as you mentioned parts are usually delayed and can take weeks to arrive. I hate that practice but it’s out there so be careful and look at every detail you can before you sign off. I’m sure sales doest bother to say anything or they don’t even know. Id bet that someone at the dealership changed that light and mistakenly got the wrong one over a factory error that’s just less common in my experience. Just something to consider, my 24 is flawless, cheers!
The dealerships get paid by ford to do a pre delivery inspection. They're at fault as well if they're not doing the inspections right.
Nice truck. I have the 430 gearing and I'm getting 11.6 without a load.
Lmfao I cant imagine thinking thats cool.
@@panthermartin7784 No one said it was cool.. but I damn sure didn't buy it for the gas mileage.
You gotta pay $14.99 a month to get the rattles turned off......
This truck reminds me of the Johnny cash song 😂😂😂
The crazy part is not only did the factory miss it but the dealer doing the PDI and on delivery didn’t even check to see if a headlight worked. Let alone to make sure they were the right headlights. There’s a lot of issues with auto industry right now.
@@CBH238 absolutely 100%
I tried 2 fords in a row ..huge mistake..2017 and 2019. I’m back in Toyota again. If only they would make a 3/4 and 1 ton.
Lifter issues were only a problem with commercial tuned trucks, so box trucks and E series HD Vans. The “ high output “ tune on the pickup trucks haven’t had any problems.
I believe he had a lifter issue on his last F250 7.3 about a year or so ago
Nah that headlight thing would annoy the shit out of me. Fix it or find another truck
My Jan built 20 KR 7.3 tremor 35km. No prob. 11.5 mpg is bout right. Great package.
Lmao -- you got an upgrade right out of the gate! 🤣🤣🤣
I would check and make sure you have the 7.3 and not the new 6.8.😂
cant get the 6.8 in a lariat
@@timtroia3785
It's built by Ford, so it wouldn't be much of a surprise.
@@timtroia3785 I know that. But since they messed up his headlight and his trim, they could’ve put the wrong motor in it too.😂
Well that’s tough. As someone who advocates against the 4.30 gear I would have liked to have seen this get tested. I’m not so much against them as I just don’t think they are at all necessary for most people. Their usage case in my opinion is pretty specific:
1) true working trucks loaded to max GVWR all the time.
2) extreme off road type grades (I’m talking 20% or so).
Otherwise in my opinion the 10 speed transmission is making up the difference.
100%, 3.55 and 3.73s are good enough for almost all. Most ford diesels are 3.31s.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 yes sir. And with a 3.73 the transmission can just downshift one extra gear and have a slightly shorter final drive than the 4.30 in one gear higher.
So for example 3rd in the 3.73 has a shorter final drive than a 4.30 has in 4th gear. A lot of people will say so just shift the 4.30 to 3rd and it will be shorter. That would be true BUT at highway speeds (60 mph or so) that’s not possible because the 4.30 won’t have the rpm space to shift to 3rd.
Anyways. Good luck with whichever you get. I voted for a 3500 L8T but I wouldn’t mind seeing the 4.30 tested. You could demonstrate that you end up being rpm limited based off certain speeds. Now the Tremor wouldn’t be as bad as a regular Super Duty because it has 1” taller tires which would give it a taller final drive than a non Tremor but it would be close enough I think.
I order a F350 king ranch SRW 7.3 long bed with 4.30 to tow a 42ft 5th wheel weighing 14.8 dry / 16 loaded. In Order to keep me under the 20% rule, (diesel not an option for my daily driving and use habits)
Ford was the ONLY option other wise I would have brought what I know; Rams
Hoping I like this truck or I will be a very pissed off and vocal consumer spending just north of 92k
@@vincew.6905 having a personal “rule” for what you use a truck for is not a bad idea. Unless the 4.30 housing is physically stronger than the 3.73 housing I think it’s very gimmicky at how Ford rates their trucks. The 10 speed transmissions with their wide gear spacing takes away the need for those relatively short rear gear ratios. Certain situations I would agree yes, the 4.30 will be better. If you’re strictly in 1st and 2nd gear all the time then sure, it definitely has a gearing advantage. But at highway speeds, you can just drop a gear with the 3.73 and have nearly identical final drive ratios as the 4.30.
The best example of that is the new 6.8 “baby ‘zilla” engine. It makes 405 hp and like 445 foot pounds of torque but it’s limited pretty severely on towing capacity compared to the 7.3. Maybe it’s the 10R100 being the limiting factor but I can’t help but think it’s just Ford being Ford.
I was concerned about (get up and go with a 15k load) from a stop position. The max towing went up almost 2k with those fears if my memory serves me correctly
Now i got to go look at mine, just went out and checked mine. They are the same,
I have 2018 XL f150 5.0 with 3 inch lift and 33s no rattles no issues with 10sp it has 130,000
One time I saw a car on a dealer lot that had a Chrysler badged door on one side and a Dodge badged door on the other... LOL
That's gotta make the truck worth more than a regular truck with the same badge on both sides!!!
The right headlight is LED reflector lens and left headlight is LED with projector lens!!! Unbelievable QC didn't catch it!!!
Yeah and the salesperson and the sales manager were arguing with me that it was just a bulb, and that there was nothing wrong. I had to walk them all the way to the bezel and point put the difference and then we're, ots not that big of a deal. Then the manager got in and smashed the B pillar molding on without even seeing if it wad aligned correctly, I heard plastic cracking. Who knows what else was missed or wrong on this truck.
@@automotiveinquiries9673
If you can, do this test: Park your trcuk in front of a wall at about 20 ft and turn on the headlights on low beam. Use your body to cover the light beam from each headlight alternately and see if you can tell any difference with each headlight's beam pattern on the wall.
My guess is the projector lens headlight on the driver's side may have a sharper focus pattern.
Since Ford charges extra for the projector headlights vs. the reflector headlights, I'd see if Ford can get you the other projector headlight at no cost since you already have one on the truck to compensate for all the trouble you are going through!
Dealer folks are mostly clueless! Just ask them to describe the physical difference between a reflector lens headlight vs a projector lens headlight! Anyone who understands can easily tell you what the differences are without even looking at each unit! This is the lens configuration and has nothing to do with the type of bulb - LED, halogen or even HID!!
It’s really sad that all new vehicles are junk these days!😢😢😢
Brother I have owned all manufacturers and have gone through all the trucks…..a lot of trucks haha. My final take ….GMC has by far been the best trucks for quality and control. GM has there faults like they all do, but their quality and control has been superior.
I bought a 2019 sierra denali ultimate with the 6.2 and 10sp. I had nothing but issues with it. Under 30k miles and it needed a rear main seal. Around 38k miles and it had a oil pressure controller issue. Off and on infotainment issues. Often the camera system didn't work. The power steps had issues often. This was all pre pandemic, so can't use that as an excuse. GM isnt any better than anyone else.
@@LeeDennis-hi4bi allll manufacturers can have lemons buddy. I haven’t had a single issue with mine. It’s been superior. Sorry about your bad luck.
In 2019, I bought a new 2019 F350 Dually Lariat, and at 15,672 miles the damn 6.7 Powerstroke started leaking oil. The main seal went, and so did the truck. Traded the truck in and will never waste another dime with Ford. I had 3 Mustangs with zero issues, but the first truck I bought was a failure. The gauges do look like crap. My 2023 Ram 2500 Power Wagon has great looking gauges, and got a smoking deal on it a few months ago. $15,670 off the MSRP.
Ram absolutely has the best interior and instrumentation of any truck manufacturers! Ford's clown bar graph gauges just says to the world they don't have a clue what they are doing and have to resort to gimmicks of using bar graphs instead of standard analog gauges!!!
Wow - never seen that before - a 70k car - whoa
You got the special edition GM package. Hardly go a day without seeing a GM truck with a light out on it .
Have owned several….currently own a GMC and none have had headlight issues. Love the categorizations due to a few.
What are you talking about?? Never seen a light issue with a GM. This video is about Ford and its issues, stay on topic and stop making up lies to defend your precious brand …
@@Billybob50119
Mostly daytime running lights
@Billybob50119 Damn bro, Ford derangement syndrome much? 6.2 Lifter issues with GM all over the place. Blown engines with less than 1k Miles. GM Fuel pump modules leaving people stranded. Look up on TH-cam "2024 silverado blown engine" or "I tow these the most" oh and have fun getting a newer GM truck into neutral when it breaks down.
@@jmasoncars4452 All of them have recalls brainiac…..for one thing or the other. Get you a 6.6 L8T with Allison transmission and all your worries are over.
A dumb mistake. But I don't think it's a big deal in the overall picture.
You got the platinum projector headlight on the left side. My 24 F350 Platinum tremor 7.3 rapid red goes into production 2/13
When did you order it?
I ordered my 23 King Ranch Tremor 7.3 fully loaded in November of 21 I don't have a build date or VIN yet. They told me the reason it's taking so long is they still have a parts shortage on the higher trim levels, if I took some options off I'd get it faster. I can't believe you're getting a higher trim level that fast. I hope you do though.
I ordered this one the day order banks opened 7/17/23@@mikeatgmail9705
I'm still hoping my 23 keeps doing what it's doing. Tows my tractor and camper like a dream (why I bought it). If all else fails, I can always go back to Ram 2500 6.4 which I loved as well. Time will tell but all of these horror stories don't reflect how many 2020-2023 F250 godzillas are out there still running mile after mile. Don't get me wrong, the quality control issues you are pointing out are a huge problem for ford if that's the norm. I'm pretty picky and am satisfied with mine. But please keep posting things you see, it can only help to make Ford take a look at the product they are producing.
Man get a 2500 zr2 and test that out since you are willing to go to a tremor
I used to work at a dodge place and I was the one to check them and we got one once that said V6 on the right side and V8 on the left and it was a diesel so all I can say it's not any better now than 20 years ago but I still love the fords and dodge''s .
I’m done with all domestics after running Fords for 25 years I’m done. Changing my life so I don’t need a heavy duty truck and just run a Tacoma or 4Runner
Before you buy the spray in bed liner ask your dealer about the warranty mine is pealing off on the tailgate because they don’t rap the gate properly and ford is not going to warranty it. I would not have problem with there decision if i owned the truck for more then 3 weeks at least I found a dealer that is just going to fix it thanks avis ford Michigan
Man I’d be mad as hell 😅
Sad commentary on USA
I am so disheartened with all the problems with these new trucks. All of them, not just one brand. I feel like we are going backwards. Not so long ago you bought a brand new vehicle because you wanted some trouble free years of ownership. Because maybe your old one was worn out or you were tired of working on it. Those days seem to be gone
That’s crazy! Hopefully it’s limited on issues.
Why the 10,300# package? And a low 3150 payload? What caused that? Edit: Oops its a 250
Had it tremor f350 best day 12.5 4:30 pulled great but did not like overpasses. I would do 3:73’ sort of the best of both worlds
Your speedometer is on the right
"I'm a speed limit guy", in the left lane....
Man I’m all over the place on my desires.
I’m a drag racer and it’s reaching time for me to take a break as I do not get to track nor have much time for a hot rod.
Debating selling my F150 and Z06 and going new truck adding a blower.
I kind like the truck to run 11.9 and 12’s on 37-40” tires.
Not sure if that possible while retaining all stock type driving.
Here researching trying to decide. F150 5.0 (Tremor) or F250 (Tremor)
With that Chevy trucks are on my radar. I’m a fan of alloy bodies. In the salt belt.
Man I just don’t know what I want well that with in budget.
Ill lost count on all the crap that has gone wrong with my new 2024 f250
Cool shades
Mine has been nothing but trouble. Transmission solenoid, oil leak, and bad metallic bed rattle. May be slightly heavier duty than the GMC, but not worth all these problems. Feel like I'm stuck with this thing
I had a 2021 F-350 7.3 10 speed . That transmission shifted like crap unless I was towing a trailer in tow/haul. I sold that heap and back in a Ram with the slick shifting ZF 8 speed . So much better! I’m done with Fords !
Did you talk to the dealer about the issues or just walk? If so, what did the dealer say?
I showed the manager and he was very non schelant about it. He said, that they would have to change it out, but they didn't have the parts. I was worried about what else they missed.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 Understandable. I would be equally worried about the quality of workmanship by the dealer replacing the light.
Man that’s not what you would expect for the price of these trucks! Build quality and the quality control needs to be way better. Very disappointing!
Regarding gauges - the analog gauges from 2022 & earlier trucks are much better than the clown bar graph gauges! Ford went full stupid on the instrumentation design and it really shows!
I'd love to see you get a chevy gas wt double cab dually and put it through your testing and channel

Purchased to install my northern lite 10-2 slide in truck camper. Had a 2018 Denali diesel and was over weight. Needed to get a lighter truck with more capacity. This new truck gave me an additional 1611# capacity over my other truck. It has a 975# additional capacity over my other truck. Plus its curb weight is less. Have not installed camper yet. Waiting on the upgraded torque lift 30K hitch and tie downs to come in. Next week. I already have the 48” super truss extension from my previous setup. Got my front hitch mount and running boards delivered yesterday. Getting in the truck without them for me is not easy. 65years old with a bum knee. I will get back to you when it is finished
@michaelj.rovnyak7620 wow thanks for the info, I would like the same truck to haul a truck camper too. Good luck and happy camping
Make sure you buy a DRW with the most capacity. Do not let anyone talk you into a SRW. Very easy to overload with a truck camper. Mine is the largest camper made buy northern lite. Fully loaded it is over 5300#
I've heard this mismatched headlight thing has happened to a few people!
I remember seeing a video of 2 different lights which it was for like king ranch Vs the platinum I think but 1 is led something and other was different light so looks like they put 1 of each in yours which is sad really back in day u could build nice dam house fir cost of these dam trucks theses day for the price we’re paying now u shouldn’t even havet to inspect them yourself it should be a dam guarantee of quality at it’s best nice truck tho

what is Fords interest Rate currently on F250?
Better make sure you don't have the 6.8 mini-zilla up under the hood. 🤣🤣
You'll be a fool if you think that all the brands don't have the same issues. I've seen all them messing up.
True, all brands do and potentially have issues. This is the third new super duty that at pickup had issues, so it suvka either way. But, we are still looking for a super duty for the channel
Great review… watched one before this and watched two dummies launch a F250. More concerned with what you talked about.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback
lol. If the dealer is worth a dam, they would catch all that in a PDI. You didn’t give them a chance. Headlights are an issue though.
Never ever bought Garbage Motors Corporation. I did go from Ford to Toyota. Never going back unless they come up with better vehicles.
I bought a new 2023 bronco 4 door wildtrack and I am totally disgusted at ford quality. I have went thru the vehicle and found quite a few loose bolts,mis aligned plastic and loose lug nuts. The vehicle has a very cheap feel and I don’t see it lasting as long as the payments.I am 60 and have had a number of trucks in my life and sad to say this is my last Ford purchase
Sorry to hear that. But it is sad quality.
Seen the same with chrome trim on one side of a gm truck and none on the other. And half the damn gm lights you see coming at you don’t even work😂 if you want to buy anything get it 2020 or before. I really don’t like the screens everywhere, can’t see 💩 at night.
“Tear a whole new truck apart to put it in” ……. We’re talking about a headlight bro. I understand it raises questions but relax lol
Why you drivin’ 55 in the left lane man….
Looks like your B pillar on the drivers side inside is not installed correctly.
Funny that those driver side lights are the more expensive option I think. The passenger side lights look like the cheap shits.
Look underneath the new f150. More rust than my 17 ram has. Everyone I look at had rust
So I'm in the process of buying a F350 7.3 Godzilla and was eye ballin this 2021 Platinum at the dealership and they said it was down a customer took it out for a drive and it broke down in the middle of the street and then check back with him two weeks later said the engine was blown....... it was a lifter inside the engine....... the truck only had 57000 miles on it so now will need a brand new engine because on the F350s it has a 60, 000 Mi warranty now I'm wondering FUCK what is this going to happen to me
I'd definitely pass on it, unless they give you a new 5 year 60k from the date the new engine was put in it. Hopefully the 24s have the fix as the new engine should be the updated version.

@BiggieB4 that one and my current one that also had lots of problems were from the Kentucky plant which is the primary SD plant.
I couldn't help but laugh when you honestly animated the very understandable frustration over the headlights. So its one thing to have a screw up in the proper parts being delivered to the vehicle being built and not catching that mistake, but then for it to get to the area where they do the headlight aiming and inspection checks and they missed that the headlight was not only different but that its NOT WORKING !. By the dealers attitude I would guess this is not the first time they have seen a goof up of this sort. So lets say you had not noticed and bought it and an officer pulls you over because you have a headlight that is not working, are you supposed to submit the fine to Ford ?. And the dealer, would they actually send a customer out the door with a non functioning headlight.
Check all your usb ports. 1/2 mine don’t work
At Ford quality is job NONE. Sold my 2020 and 2021 F-350's due to numerous problems and recalls. WAY too many problems for $80k trucks.
If ford can't handle the quality control and put in matching headlights...I would really be concerned about that monstrosity of a timing chain setup on the 7.3 or any ford ohc engine. Pretty easy to put headlights in. Not so easy to build an engine that will last. All manufacturers have their issues. Even though I'm not a Ford fan, I want to like that 7.3. Personally I don't think I would want to own after the warranty expires or buy one used.
Not to mention the jackshaft driven oil pump on the godzilla engine.
@RK-nr8qf Exactly my thoughts. Lots of built in "Planned obsolescence"
ignorance is strong with this one.....the 7.3 is not an OHC design....it has a small single timing chain like a traditional old-school pushrod engine CAM IN BLOCK.
@WienerSnitzel337 Yes, you are absolutely correct. The 7.3 is a cam in block ohv pushrod design with a single timing chain. I wasn't disputing that fact. That oil pump drive chain added to the timing chain set up is sketchy at best. Ford has notoriously over engineered things on the 7.3, just as they have on their ohc engines, making them problematic. It's almost like they forgot to put an oil pump in the 7.3 engine. Then they were faced with the question...How can we add one? Then cobbled the oil pump into the mix. I guess they could have ran a belt in oil, as they are using on other engines. 🤣 When we start seeing 7.3's with 200k to 300k miles on them holding up well, then I too will be impressed.
The motor is great the rest not so much
What was your other video w the PRNDM12345678910 being too low? My 24 tremor 7.3 is too low as well
Fords are getting to be like boats. The two best days are when you get it and get rid of it.
still make the limited for 24
Its not just ford its every brand. Its just straight up luck who built the thing. Ive had great luck with ford myself but my fiance trades vehicles like i do boots and she has problems with every single one. She will find something wrong with whatever she has and now has a toyota with recalls sqeaks and rattles worse then both my fords. The workforce isn't the best these days.
I'm sorry guys but I'm not buying new until they get their Sh*& together. I currently have 3 brand new Fords from our fleet down for various reasons. T 250 van Blown rear end 200 miles. Bearing came apart on first ride.. Escape 1600 miles possible head issue with clogged water jackets from machining process. no fix yet. 22 F450 38000 miles needs new engine Cam lifter issue on 7.3. One late last year. new F150 took delivery and heater AC control module defective. Months to fix because module was backordered. no defroster. The QC is out of control at Ford right now.
My thoughts they just put to much crap on new trucks anymore
Did you get rid of big red?
sold big red to a contractor friend, he is loving it and it's over 27k miles now no issues. miss that truck
Its a Ford thing,5 different headlights for the same body style.
should have bought it got more money taken off and had them fix it
Where was the truck assembled.
I believe Kentucky plant of this one
That’s disappointing
Im starting to think this guy is just making videos for views. I work for a ford service department and we havent had a single 7.3 come in the entire year for anything other than an oil change
